Materials Data on GdAlGa by Materials Project
GdGaAl is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded to six equivalent Ga and six equivalent Al atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing GdAl6Ga6 cuboctahedra. All Gd–Ga bond lengths are 3.17 Å. All Gd–Al bond lengths are 3.17 Å. Ga is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and three equivalent Al atoms. All Ga–Al bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and three equivalent Ga atoms.
